okay so i guess it starts recording now
okay
i don't know really know that much about the recycling in this area that we're in we live in the Saginaw area
Saginaw
um-hum and i'm not real familiar with uh anything that i in fact the far as i know the school doesn't have any kind of programs or anything out here and uh or the grocery story or anything in this area yeah
really
the recycling we live in Plano
and
they started off recycling by
um
putting the i think at each Wal-Mart they had some recycling
dumpsters and things like that which it now i guess the uh city has has bought these
big green trash cans and uh
we they have a recycling truck that comes around now
and you separate your glass and
paper
uh-huh
and uh aluminum
and you set it out and they pick it up and it it works real neat they seem to be having a real good response
really
but
that is pretty good i'm we're originally from another state and i know in the state we were from that they did that type similar type thing the city brought out
you know separate trash separate trash cans and you separated your stuff and you put it in there and they took it you know
did they
did they like on bottles did they give you a
so many cents back for
i don't really know i don't really know they they started after we moved down here and so i i'm not really familiar i just know that and my in-laws up in up in Oklahoma that's how they do you know they pick it up but i don't know if they get a
for cans even i've seen that in
really
get anything back on it or do you get money for it
no i've just i noticed in Iowa and other cities like that it's a nickel
per aluminum can
oh
so you don't see too many thrown out around the streets
really
even bottles you know all kinds of bottles they they
they really charge people to uh i guess when you purchase them and and then when you turn them back in
right
i know i remember the old days as a kid where
a bottle was a nickel and
right and now now most of them are the throwaway
right so maybe that's one thing they could do to
and yeah i think now they're a lot more expensive than that um
i bought some Cokes the other day in the bread the little bottles
um-hum
you know and i think the bottles were like
i know they were at least ten cents apiece i was trying to figure out how i was like God how much were those bottles you know and it was they come in like uh eight and and eight and ten packs you know
well that's
right
instead of six packs and uh and they were like it was like two dollars and something for the bottles you know i was like God Almighty costs more for the bottles than it did for the Cokes
that was my brother's first job in a grocery store he was in the bottle area
we're gonna bump our heads what a job
it's pretty dangerous out there you know when they fall over but but it's uh
right
it's quite they say that the green glass now that there's a big glut
oh really
of green
of green glass
with the green glass yeah it's amazing
uh well out in this area they really don't have anything now i know that like Minyard's
uh-huh
and places like that around like Arlington and Fort Worth and a lot of those grocery stores they have like four different bins out front
right
yeah different colors for different things and
and things like that but i i did know some of these places were doing that and they discontinued them because people coming and dumping their trash in them
right yeah it's i notice the plastics have sort of
faded away the milk jugs it it's
yeah
people just they they really don't uh there's too much labor involved i guess to separate the stuff
yeah
yeah it's i don't know it it can be it's not as easy
more than it's worth
collecting you know clean junk as they say
right right well who wants to clean their junk before they throw it away
that's right that's right
it's like washing the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher
right i know
we all do it
well it was nice talking to you
it was nice talking to you i have no idea how long this is supposed to last or anything
well i think i think two or three minutes is fine and yeah
it is that it okay well it was nice talking to you and i i guess i'll do this for i was doing this from actually i was gonna do it for my son
so that he could uh he he's in high school so that he could uh make some money
right
and but then it has my name on it so i'm like okay i'll sit down here and call it
oh we're doing it for a church choir so
